Isaiah 28:10-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
10
For
He says,
‘ Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’?'
11
Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
12
He who said to them, 'This is the place of quiet, give rest to the weary,'
And, 'This is the resting place,' but they would not listen.
13
So the word of the
Lord
to them will be,
'Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,'
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.
14
Therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
, you scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15
Because you have said, 'We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a pact.
The gushing flood will not reach us when it passes by,
Because we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.'
16
Therefore this is what the Lord
God
says:
'Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
A precious cornerstone
for
the foundation, firmly placed.
The one who believes
in it
will not be disturbed.
17
I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
18
Your covenant with death will be canceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the gushing flood passes through,
Then you will become its trampling
ground.
19
As often as it passes through, it will seize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through,
anytime
during the day or night,
And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means.'
20
The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as
at
Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the Valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His unusual task,
And to work His work, His extraordinary work.
22
And now do not carry on as scoffers,
Or your shackles will be made stronger;
For I have heard from the Lord
God
of armies
Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
King James Version
Chapter 28
10
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13
But the word of the
Lord
was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14
Wherefore hear the word of the
Lord
, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16
Therefore thus saith the Lord
God
, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21
For the
Lord
shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord
God
of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
10
"Law after law, law after law,
line after line, line after line,
a little here, a little there."
11
For he will speak to this people
with stammering speech
and in a foreign language.
12
He had said to them:
"This is the place of rest;
let the weary rest;
this is the place of repose."
But they would not listen.
13
The word of the
Lord
will come to them:
"Law after law, law after law,
line after line, line after line,
a little here, a little there,"
so they go stumbling backward,
to be broken, trapped, and captured.
14
Therefore hear the word of the
Lord
, you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15
For you said, "We have made a covenant with Death,
and we have an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming catastrophe passes through,
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery."
16
Therefore the Lord
God
said:
"Look, I have laid a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
the one who believes will be unshakable.
17
And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level."
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.
18
Your covenant with Death will be dissolved,
and your agreement with Sheol will not last.
When the overwhelming catastrophe passes through,
you will be trampled.
19
Every time it passes through,
it will carry you away;
it will pass through every morning—
every day and every night.
Only terror will cause you
to understand the message.
20
Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and its cover too small to wrap up in.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim.
He will rise in wrath, as at the Valley of Gibeon,
to do his work, his unexpected work,
and to perform his task, his unfamiliar task.
22
So now, do not scoff,
or your shackles will become stronger.
Indeed, I have heard from the Lord
God
of Armies
a decree of destruction for the whole land.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
10
He tells us everything over and over —
one line at a time,
one line at a time,
a little here,
and a little there!'
11
So now God will have to speak to his people
through foreign oppressors who speak a strange language!
12
God has told his people,
'Here is a place of rest;
let the weary rest here.
This is a place of quiet rest.'
But they would not listen.
13
So the
Lord
will spell out his message for them again,
one line at a time,
one line at a time,
a little here,
and a little there,
so that they will stumble and fall.
They will be injured, trapped, and captured.
14
Therefore, listen to this message from the
Lord
,
you scoffing rulers in Jerusalem.
15
You boast, 'We have struck a bargain to cheat death
and have made a deal to dodge the grave.
The coming destruction can never touch us,
for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.'
16
Therefore, this is what the Sovereign
Lord
says:
'Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,
a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.
17
I will test you with the measuring line of justice
and the plumb line of righteousness.
Since your refuge is made of lies,
a hailstorm will knock it down.
Since it is made of deception,
a flood will sweep it away.
18
I will cancel the bargain you made to cheat death,
and I will overturn your deal to dodge the grave.
When the terrible enemy sweeps through,
you will be trampled into the ground.
19
Again and again that flood will come,
morning after morning,
day and night,
until you are carried away.'
This message will bring terror to your people.
20
The bed you have made is too short to lie on.
The blankets are too narrow to cover you.
21
The
Lord
will come as he did against the Philistines at Mount Perazim
and against the Amorites at Gibeon.
He will come to do a strange thing;
he will come to do an unusual deed:
22
For the Lord, the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies,
has plainly said that he is determined to crush the whole land.
So scoff no more,
or your punishment will be even greater.
English Standard Version
Chapter 28
10
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little."
11
For by people of strange lips
and with a foreign tongue
the
Lord
will speak to this people,
12
to whom he has said,
"This is rest;
give rest to the weary;
and this is repose";
yet they would not hear.
13
And the word of the
Lord
will be to them
precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little,
that they may go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14
Therefore hear the word of the
Lord
, you scoffers,
who rule this people in Jerusalem!
15
Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death,
and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the overwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,
for we have made lies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter";
16
therefore thus says the Lord
God
,
"Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion,
a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
17
And I will make justice the line,
and righteousness the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter."
18
Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be beaten down by it.
19
As often as it passes through it will take you;
for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night;
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.
20
For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,
and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;
to do his deed — strange is his deed!
and to work his work — alien is his work!
22
Now therefore do not scoff,
lest your bonds be made strong;
for I have heard a decree of destruction
from the Lord
God
of hosts against the whole land.
New International Version
Chapter 28
10
For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that ;
a little here, a little there."
11
Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues
God will speak to this people,
12
to whom he said,
"This is the resting place, let the weary rest";
and, "This is the place of repose"—
but they would not listen.
13
So then, the word of the
Lord
to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured and snared and captured.
14
Therefore hear the word of the
Lord
, you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15
You boast, "We have entered into a covenant with death,
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
and falsehood our hiding place."
16
So this is what the Sovereign
Lord
says:
"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.
17
I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow your hiding place.
18
Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be beaten down by it.
19
As often as it comes it will carry you away;
morning after morning, by day and by night,
it will sweep through." The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.
20
The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.
21
The
Lord
will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work, his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22
Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the
Lord
Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed against the whole land.
New King James Version
Chapter 28
10
For precept
must be
upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”
11
For with stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,
12
To whom He said, “This
is
the rest
with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This
is
the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.
13
But the word of the
Lord
was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.
14
Therefore hear the word of the
Lord
, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who
are
in Jerusalem,
15
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
16
Therefore thus says the Lord
God
:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17
Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18
Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
19
As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”
20
For the bed is too short to stretch out
on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself
in it.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as
at
Mount Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—
That He may do His work, His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.
22
Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord
God
of hosts,
A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
